OK, I'm back home safe and sound(?)- I told Gary I was coming up come snow or high water- didn't know we'd encounter both! The weather did everything it could in just 3 days-30's and snow on the ground when we arrived, 50's and melted snow Friday,and the aforementioned display Sat. Then Sat night it was blizzard like conditions and many lost power from the high winds.It was truly a great experience at Grand Haven when out of nowhere the wind and waves kicked up to monumental proportions. The chances of being there at just that instant are so slight, I count it as a true blessing to have witnessed it. I did pray that my trip would be rewarding, and it certainly was! I did see Gary's display at the gallery, truly outstanding! Thank you Gary for your time and friendship. You can keep the gum, and the washcloth belongs to the motel. I think thats all I left in your car, other than some sand and rain/lake water. Can't wait to see what we went out there for.
